Door County Welcome Baby Continuum Project
Outcome Report
Awarded in
2022
This project, Door County Welcome Baby Continuum, led by Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin Inc., aimed to reach every Door County family following the birth of a child, regardless of where the baby was delivered, and connect them with education, resources and home visiting services. The project responded to growing concerns related to child safety, family well-being and limited support, as well as gaps in reaching families who delivered outside the county. In 2025, Welcome Baby Door County served 81 families, including many referred by Brown County hospitals, while Healthy Families Door County provided home visiting services to 13 families. The project also hired a part-time Family Resource Specialist, established a process for visiting families at Door County Medical Center and strengthened regional referral systems and educational resources to better connect families with support.
